oh my gosh can i relate!!!!! last year i thought i had colon cancer, when i first started birth control i was terrified of a blod clot, when i was pregnant with my son i was scared of hemmorhaging, and my thing now is a brain aneurysm....i can get any feeling in my head and i instantly think it is because i am going to have a brain aneurysm...luckily this time i have gone to the doctor and was put on lexapro due to the fact that the anxiety was causing me to have panic attacks daily....the best thing i have found is taking the meRAB....i also like to talk to people about it....frienRAB, family, etc. however i know it is hard because most people cannot relate....just try not to obsess over it, because that is what you are doing, if you google symptoms, stop, and try to get some exercise. Also think about what may be causing your anxiety, if you can figure that out then work on that. like for instance i have a lot of thoughts about my dad that i do not want to think about, he was/is an alcoholic and he has major health problems now. i have never really talked about them before and if it was brought up i was VERY uncomfortable. needless to say i think i have been trying to supress so many feelings that it is finally catching up with me....and it is not pretty!!!! i hate health anxiety and it is the hardest thing to deal with. you feel like you are alone and nobody has any idea how you are feeling.....just try to talk things out....use the boarRAB to help if thats what you need too....good luck and i hope this helped!
